Imagine having the ability to turn on the television and change the channel without using a remote control or typing emails using just the power of your thoughts. Even behind the media hype, brain-computer interface technology may someday restore communication and mobility in persons with disabling diseases.

So why would you use an file-sharing app anyway? Actually for many reasons: for larger files, for privacy, multiple files, file format support, and more.

In this post, I compare 16 file-sharing services. I took three main issues under consideration when creating the comprehensive app list below: Free, Fast, and Useful . . .

Most of the services suggested require no registration. None of them will ask you to download anything to your computer, and all of them are easy to use, and worth using. It is actually great to see services, such as Yousendit, MailBigFile, and Rapidshare, that are still relevant and are good choices, but if I had to pick one it would be Mediafire.

As a part of my materials creation initiative for my Systems Administration course, today I put together a guide to computer ports. Below are each of the sections and you can download a useful pdf or svg source here.

Data Robotics, the peeps behind the Drobo and DroboPro, have put up a video answering some common questions about the DroboPro’s iSCSI interface. If you have been considering a DroboPro, and were wondering about this spec (which, by all accounts, is fantastic) check out the video below.

We weren't sure what to do with a SheevaPlug, a cheap and powerful home server stuffed into a package the size of a power brick, so we asked a bunch of uber-geeks--Here's what they said

What would you do with a $40 Linux computer the size of a three-prong plug adapter?

Marvell Technology Group is counting on an army of computer engineers and hackers to answer that question. It has created a “plug computer.” It’s a tiny plastic box that you plug into an electric outlet. There’s no display. But there is an Ethernet jack to connect to a home network and a U.S.B. socket for attaching a hard drive, camera or other device. Inside is a 1.2 gigahertz Marvell chip, called an application processor, running a version of the Linux operating system.

All this can be yours for $99 today and probably for under $40 in two years.

IDEO Labs posted a video on Wednesday of WATG's Wimberly Labs' EON Reality's immersive 3D room. They call it an "iCube" (of course), but don't let that slow you down. We want to go to there.

I can definitely recommend the netcomm np201av, however just be aware that they are not cheap, have a design flaw that means if you plug directly into a dual power wall plate, the 2nd plug will be blocked and unable to be used.

Ditto to this.

Just today I took delivery of a pair of NP201AV. The utility software that came with them reports my connection rate as Transmit 150Mbs and Receive 137Mbs. I couldn't be happier.

The rsync utility is a file-transfer and synchronization program widely available for Linux® and UNIX® and even ported to Windows®. Its key feature is a very fast algorithm that just sends file differences over the data link, thus minimizing the total data flow between machines. (If you use the File Transfer Protocol [FTP] or utilities such as rcp or scp, complete files will be sent, even if just one byte has changed.) Of course, rsync isn't limited to existing files: It can also deal with files and directories that might be present only at one end of the link. Finally, communications are optimized by compressing data, so you can use the tool even without a broadband connection.

Intel appeared to hate Ion because, it moves their Atom offering into the mainstream in terms of performance and potentially cannibalizes their higher margin Core 2 offerings. But this has always seemed silly to me. People are clearly not buying a lot at this time. Trying to get higher margins for products people don't buy, based on sales performance, at the moment isn't a good financial strategy. To be successful, you typically try to build products folks want to buy then optimize the costs.

If you want too much information about a couple of cats, see Gus and Penny’s Twitter page. These cats Tweet! Or, more acurately, their cat door Tweets when they go in and out. The door isn’t the famous Flo Control Project, but instead uses RFID chips.

Each cat has a small RFID tag on the collar. When a cat is in the close proximity of the door, a small RFID reader reads the tag and if the cat is authorized, a servo will unlock the cat door. The RFID reader and the servo controller are connected to an old laptop. The software on the laptop is written in Delphi and for each “cat door event” is sending a Twitter message and a picture to twitter.com:

Imagine a netbook that can actually play modern first-person shooter games. Or a tiny $500 PC that can quickly encode video. It's possible--I just saw it with my own two eyes. nVidia recently came in to show off its two-chip Ion platform, which marries an Intel Atom CPU with nVidia's 94000M graphics processing unit. Honestly, the results surprised me.
